Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I have a dual-boot system with WindowsXP and the Tuner works on Windows with its own version of software.

Can anyone give me some support as to how to configure on Linux....?

I tried calling Hauppauge tech support and good-luck, they have terrible support. I was put on que for 10 minutes only to hear a recording that if I wanted to leave a name and number someone would call me back or I could press # and extension to stay online.

Well no one ever answered or ever returned my call.

I installed TV-Time and when I open it I see a blue screen with time on it, but I get this message off to the side - No TV Card has been detected on your machine. Please verify that a Linux-supported Video/TV Card is correctly plugged in.

Looking at the link of that model, it looks like a Windows only model. But if you had got one that works with Windows & Mac, would it have been easier to use with Linux? I'm just curious if one labelled for Mac and Win would install better.

Thnx.

Yes. There are a couple different versions floating around.

I have it working on mythdora 10.21 (www.mythdora.com) which is based on Fedora Core 10. All I had to do was download the firmware and reboot.

Mythdora is a Linux Distribution based on Fedora Core 10. It has all the MythTV software and hardware drivers - video, remote, ir and plugins built in. A lot easier than wilsonet.com, which involved installing FC first then all the drivers etc..

I finally got through with Hauppauge tech support and the gentlemen there was very helpful in helping me out on the windows side (I have a dual boot system with Windows XP 64 bit). It works great with Windows XP 64 bit, I did have to download load their newer version of their cd.

As for Mandiva Linux install, I have spent 4 days compiling some drivers and I have had no luck yet.

Tech support agent said this model would work with Linux and that they have a tutorial on their site to install. But its not easy...
